Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have been watching the latest Walking Dead and caught what blade Daryl Dixon was carrying? Looked kinda like a buck hoodlum or maybe a TOPS version???
I'm thinking just blame Fiskers for buying out Gerber and screwing the whole thing up; By the way Tennessee, Your Tops is made the same way Busse knives are made; Blanked and hand finished to perfection , I'd go tops anyday before Busse, I just can't justify the price .:thumb:Gerber's whole issue is they dont have any "standards" when it comes to their steel. They change blade material to meet production needs. They will keep runs going with whatever kinda close to spec material they can get.
I used to do a lot of machinery work for Gerber. They want it fast cheap and they effin LOVE China..
Entirely different steel used, Busse is using a proprietary steel which is supposed to be vastly superior the common 1095 that Tops is using, hence the price difference. I believe that Busse also has a 100% no questions asked warranty which Tops does not.I'm thinking just blame Fiskers for buying out Gerber and screwing the whole thing up; By the way Tennessee, Your Tops is made the same way Busse knives are made; Blanked and hand finished to perfection , I'd go tops anyday before Busse, I just can't justify the price .:thumb:
Looked to be black and Tan G10 with double cut blade.What is the scale/handle color of the knife? I can't tell if its the micarta or g10 scales or what...
And is the satin finish the same as the tanker grey finish? Not many good clear shots of the knife in the series...
